Although Sony has released portable game consoles such as the PlayStation Portable (PSP) and PlayStation Vita (PS Vita) in the past, the company has not released any portable game consoles in recent years, and the portable game console market has been monopolized by the Nintendo Switch.
However, some sources have told Bloomberg that Sony is working on a portable console that can play PS5 games natively, which could allow Sony to compete with the successor to the Nintendo Switch and a handheld console that is believed to be in the works from Microsoft.
Sony released the 'PlayStation Portal Remote Player' in November 2023, which allows users to play PS5 games via Wi-Fi, and the portable game console under development will be based on this PlayStation Portal Remote Player. According to a source, the PlayStation Portal Remote Player was originally intended to function as a standalone device like the Steam Deck .

Bloomberg states, 'If a portable console that can play PS5 games natively were released, it would enable the company to reach more consumers and help develop its community.'
According to the source, the device is still in the early stages of development and may not be released for several years, and it may never be released at all.
